Arms reaching out to the camera

Without intending criticism in any way of the photographers providing us with the photosets, I'm curious to know whether the 'arms reaching out to the camera' pose is liked or not. It has been used frequently for some time and is obviously a stock pose for a photoset. I can see the point must be to connect the model to the viewer, presumably suggesting that she is reaching out to hold you. But is it actually achieving that aim, and appreciated as a pose?

I will start by saying I am voting 'No' in the poll because in my eyes it is results in an unattractive image where it severely deforms the shape of the model's arms. Additionally they are inevitably blurred due to not being able to maintain focus over such a depth of field. If the pose has any merit, I would prefer it to be a half or full body shot where you can still see the model's arms and hands without that ***** effect.

By having a simple 'Yes/No' poll instead of multiple options inbetween I hope we can give the Totem photographers some useful feedback. Anyone like myself, who wants to qualify their 'Yes' or 'No' vote can add a comment, which will be more informative than a predetermined answer.

Do you like the 'arms oustretched to the camera' pose in the photose

@Bad Can you give examples of photosets with those hands reaching out? I must confess that I barely watch those photosets - many times just a glance and no downloading.
The video's are for me more a problem. I find them totally uninteresting like most softcore video's. Totem should change the video's to Behind the scenes. They add something.

@91hebasu and @bad4g I don't have a problem with the hands reaching out to the camera. It are only a few photo's in a set. The whole photosets give nearly always a good impression of the card/the outfit and the model. I'm satisfied like it is.

@91hebasu Thanks for the information about specific cards. Then I knew where to look. No misunderstanding. I like the photosets also!

I voted yes, not because I like them but for the sake of variety. The images in the photo sets are used for various reasons. Some will make skins or create their own galaries. Some may create captions or comic-strips with them.

On on that basis, not all the photos have to be a typical or even attractive pose. Some of the most inventive use of the photos involve those with unusual poses.

In any card, I may or may not have a use for an image the OP describes, by I do not object to a few in each set.

it's not so much I like them, it's more that I don't object and may find them useful. In the end, I ignore them if I don't like them. I make my own little PDFs of photos, I like in some cards. I discard a lot of photos. But that does not mean I regard them all as useless.

My main issue with photo-sets is the lack of regular poses showing off the girl and her outfit.
